A better test would be to have them pronounce St. Louis. Eurpoeams tend to pronounce it the French way unless instructed otherwisr

It's Saint Louis as in the name isn't it

How do Americans pronounce it, Sent Lewis?

I... Are you being deliberately obtuse?

We don't say the "St." part different. Americans know it's pronounced Lewis, which Europeans try to pronounce it like the French monarchs

It is as in the name (which is pronounced as "Lewis", for us).

So "Saynt Lewis".
